    its hard really, where foreman nearly broke the bag in half by hitting it with thunderous clubbing shots, tyson damn near kept the bag completely vertical from hitting it so fast and so hard. but i picked foreman, the power behind those shots was just unreal.

    Tyson.

    Handspeed and power over just sheer power.
    With Foreman - you've got it in your mind that they're slow enough to see and avoid
    You don't have that with Tyson.

    Foreman was more scary...

    Only becouse when Tyson did it, he moved around and practiced some in ring tactics.

    Big George is just standing there hitting it with full force with no other intention cept power. His look was also menacing.

    Pretty intense by George.
    The guy was a beast.

    To watch Foreman beating the bag was like watching a force of nature but to see Tyson just walking down the street was to feel like your life was threatened!

    Tyson was a monster. Everything that he did was ferocious! If you were to ask me if I were that heavy bag, who would I prefer destroying me, it would have to be Tyson but no one could put the fear into me like Mike!

    George had that attraction too in his earlier career. He gave that murderous impression but he couldn't do it as purely and with the hint of such danger as Tyson could.


    That said. I recognise the Iron Mike, baddest man on the planet from the lonely, vulnerable and hurting Michael Tyson and I feel so much for the guy. Watching him at his most vulnerable, when his tears flow, you cannot help but empathise and feel his pain and just want to give a hug to the big lug!

    I voted Tyson, Foreman can crack but he shows you his shots, he is so ****ing wide he makes a 4th street prostitute seem tight.
    Tyson does his with speed and power, and good head movement as well and being as short as Tyson is, thats a tuffer package than the taller slower wider foreman.,
